Yes that's what I see here too with an A5 board.

Seen it too.

I think it is the changes to U-Boot the last few months, and the
different VB_SYS capacitor on A5 that make the different behaviours. On
an A6, things are more civilized.
There is nothing special about NOR boot path for power, NAND should be
work effectively the same, so I guess it is changes to the code.

Yes I know what you mean :-/

The possibility of such difficult behaviour is introduced really by PMU
powering from NOPOWER with charger forced off. If CPU does not come up
enough to enable it then charging isn't even happening.
